Tell him to make sure he sticks at it. He's alot of hard years ahead ( hopefully not to many Ramsey type P***ks)

I'll be honest, I don't think he has the push or temprament to make it - I hope he does and really hope he proves himself.
He hates being told what to do by the young commis, I keep telling him that's the hierarchy of industry and if he gets his head down that'll be him soon enough!
I won't tell my mrs you're handing out recipe tips - all she watches on TV is cooking programs - Masterchef, MAsterchef NZ, Masterchef Australia, Masterchef Professionals...I have to watch the same Top Gear episodes a few times to balance the equilibrium!
-
Yeah doesn't sound great, if he can't handle being told what to do then he's in the wrong game i'm afraid
Let's be honest nobody likes being told what to do, but it's a rank and file system and it has to be that way
If you can get him to focus on the fact that knowledge is key. Learn, learn, learn as much and as fast as he can and he'll soon move through the ranks and earn the respect of his peers. Graft is the key to move up in this business

I'm in the IT field. Currently work for a company looking after the computer networks in various schools in a London borough.
Want to make a break from IT though. I'm actually thinking of staring The Knowledge of London instead. Have a Honda Scooter on order already so I guess could use that. Will be starting to do the course in my free time with the aim of being a London cabbie in 4 years or so.
Lots of hard work, study, and revision, but should lead to flexible hours day or night, and an easier life while making much more then I currently do as an IT professional!!
